ESL Teachers

With 13 years of dedicated volunteer tutoring and assistance for my children and local Korean youth, I have adeptly honed my skills in researching essential content and effective teaching methodologies, establishing dynamic and enriching learning environments. My genuine passion for guiding and supporting young learners enables me to connect not only with students but also their non-native parents, fostering an inclusive mindset that values diversity, both in people and ideas.

My experience as a tutor and adviser has been marked by successfully navigating academic challenges, facilitating excellence in subjects ranging from rigorous AP courses to demanding standardized tests. Proficiency in English, fluency in Korean and Japanese, and my knack for effective communication empower me to provide clear and comprehensive language instruction.

Furthermore, my adaptability, creativity, and tech-savvy disposition allow me to employ innovative teaching strategies, incorporating multimedia resources and interactive activities to create engaging and enjoyable learning experiences. My unwavering commitment to excellence is exemplified by my daughter's admission to Harvard Medical School without a gap year, a testament to the effectiveness of my mentorship.

My educational journey not only demonstrates my robust academic background but also underscores my heartfelt enthusiasm for nurturing students' language skills and empowering them to realize their fullest potential.

In terms of experience, I have previously worked as an educator at a summer school where I had the opportunity to teach students aged 8 to 17. This diverse age group presented a wide range of abilities and learning styles. In this role, I designed and implemented customized lesson plans to cater to each student's unique needs, ensuring an engaging and enriching educational experience. This experience has equipped me with the adaptability and creativity required to address the diverse needs of students in a classroom setting. Additionally, I have dedicated my time to voluntary work, tutoring adult refugees. This experience has honed my ability to provide personalized guidance and support to individuals from various cultural backgrounds, further enhancing my teaching skills.

My personality is characterized by patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for teaching. I firmly believe that a positive and encouraging learning environment is essential for student success. I take pride in establishing strong rapport with my students, fostering a sense of trust and motivation that enhances their overall learning experience. I am dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

In addition to my teaching experience and personality traits, I bring a strong set of skills to this role. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and proficient in curriculum development and classroom management. I am also well-versed in using technology as an educational tool, which allows me to create engaging and interactive lessons. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay up-to-date with the latest teaching methodologies and educational trends.

As a recent graduate of the University of Galway, acquiring a Bachelor of Arts in English, I am keen to put my studies to work in the field of teaching.
Though as of yet I have no experience in teaching english, I have worked with young children of all ages teaching guitar, which has similarities to running a classroom.
I am a hard working, enthusiastic learner and I am extremely dedicated in everything I pursue.

Good day, my name is Onaopepo but most people call me Tunji or TJ. I stayed in China for 4.5 years and worked part time as an ESL teacher and Private English tutor for about 3 years.
I'm a hard working individual, very enthusiastic and charismatic, I enjoy learning new things and relating to people in different ways, I especially love working with children because I think they're so real and so awesome and we get along really well.
I'm also a multifaceted individual, I enjoy getting my hands involved in many things and some of my hobbies and interests include art, photography, writing poetry, playing sports, hiking, cooking and baking, so I could definitely make some brownies for my kids and colleagues!
Overall I just believe that the role as a teacher suits me, I love watching the kids learn new things and grow, it brings me a lot of fulfillment.

I am friendly and outgoing, looking forward to meeting and connecting with people. I enjoy helping people and making others feel good about themselves.

In terms of experience I have 120+ of TEFL courses completed and passed with impressed and positive feedback on all assignments. The course covered grammar, methodology, teaching young and adult learners, teaching online and telephone classes, and video observation skills assessments.

I am a quick learner and confident in my own abilities. I use what I already know to further what I can learn and how to apply it. I am also focused and organised when it comes to tasks that need to be completed. I excel at communication as well, something that I believe is of great importance. I also have a positive work ethic, always looking forward to what the day brings and what I can do to improve it more.
